Chapter Seventy-Four: The Little Fox
What catches your eye is a sparkling stream, and a small youkai fluttering in the stream catching fish, and on the opposite bank, there is a cow-shaped youkai lying on its stomach, directing the little youkai in the water, while eating the fish caught by the little youkai.
Qiao Xi tilted his head, his eyes turned around the head of the little monster in the water, and he couldn't help but feel a little subtle in his heart.
That little monster, with a pair of fluffy fox ears on the top of his head, is undoubtedly a fox monster.
- However, is there such a weak fox demon? It's a monster, but it's a little fox.
It really surprised him.
Speaking of fox demons, the first thing that came to Qiao Xi's mind was Qingming, and then the nine-tailed fox.
However, both of these youkai are very powerful youkai.
Even when Qingming was a child, he hadn't been able to fuse the demonic power with the human spiritual power, he was not like the little fox demon in front of him, the spiritual power in his body was simply so weak and outrageous that he couldn't even hide the prototype.
Qiao Xi stared at the little fox demon silently, watching him catch a lot of fish out of breath, and then was eaten clean by the monster on the shore, most of the time, the little fox demon was already tired and sweaty, lying on the ground while gasping and asking, "In this way, can you tell me how to meet Natsume?" ”
Qiao Xi tilted his head, and the monster suddenly laughed loudly: "Hahahaha, stupid fox, you have been deceived." ”
Qiao Xi: "......"
- It's bad.
The vicious bull-faced youkai floated in the air, and continued to say, "It's because you're so stupid that you're always alone, and Natsume has long forgotten about you." ”
The little fox's eyes widened in disbelief, Qiao Xi lowered her eyelashes slightly, and her eyes narrowed slightly.
The youkai taunted the little fox and threw a glowing pill from the air.
"Take it, little fox, it can become a medicine for a human day."
Qiao Xi looked at the pill in his hand that was received by the little fox like a treasure, and raised his eyebrows curiously.
This monster can even refine medicine?
Awesome.
Suppressing his eagerness to take the pill and study it, Qiao Xi watched the little fox happily run over with the pill in his hand.
The figure of the monster in the sky gradually disappeared, but at the moment when it was about to disappear, it suddenly felt a powerful demonic aura envelop itself, and then in the next second, its entire monster was already lying on the ground, and standing in front of it was a young man wearing a gorgeous hunting suit.
The cow-faced monster opened its eyes, which were bigger than Qiao Xi's face, and there was some caution in its eyes.
"Great, sir?"
Qiao Xi let out an "um", glanced at it, didn't bother to talk nonsense, and went straight to the point and asked, "What time is it?" ”
“……”
The monster was a little confused, then looked up at the sky, and said tentatively, "About ...... Five or six o'clock in the afternoon? ”
“……”
Qiao Xi was silent for a moment, reflected for a second, and asked again, "What age is it now?" ”
The monster looked at the hunting clothes Qiao Xi was wearing, and for a moment he suddenly felt a blessing in his heart, and suddenly realized: "Didn't my lord wake up after sleeping for many years?" It's 2,000 years now, and I don't know when adults began to sleep? ”
“……”
Qiao Xi was a little stunned.
Two thousand years?
Isn't that the era in which Kagome lived?
And...... Before he became the god of Fengyue, he was in a trance in this era, right?
Qiao Xi rubbed his hair a little dazedly, and then dispersed the demonic power that bound the monster, and left here with a slight wrinkle.
The monster looked at Qiao Xi's back suspiciously, and it took a long time before he reacted, and quickly left.
- I don't know what age that adult is a youkai, just looking at the huge demonic power that he easily binds himself, it only makes him feel that the other party's demonic aura is like an abyss, unfathomable.
Not even the thought of curiosity dared to rise.
Qiao Xi left the stream, found a huge tree and jumped on it, and looked around.
The woods were quite lush, and he glanced around, but didn't see anything, and thought about it. He fluttered over the treetops, and in a few clicks came to a large rock at the top of the mountain.
He had just looked at it from the tree, and the place should have a very wide view.
Unexpectedly, the stone turned out to have a consciousness of its own.
Qiao Xi sat down cross-legged, reached out and knocked on the ground, knocking the stone monster out.
What appeared was a very old-looking youkai with a long beard, long hair, and a face full of wrinkles.
As soon as he appeared, he saluted Qiao Xi very respectfully, and said:
"Your Excellency."
Qiao Xi was slightly stunned, and his attitude subconsciously became gentle when he spoke: "Are you familiar with the neighborhood?" ”
The stone monster nodded: "This stone has existed for thousands of years, and I have always watched the world. ”
“……”
Qiao Xi was silent for a moment.
At this time, there was a train passing by at the foot of the mountain, making a loud whistle, Qiao Xi followed the sound and looked over, remembering for a long time, before remembering that the thing in his memory seemed to be called a train.
The stone monster didn't know that Qiao Xi was recalling the memory of this era, and he didn't know what he was thinking when he looked at the adult and asked a word, worried that his words angered him, and he didn't dare to interrupt, so he just stood there quietly, looking at the train in the distance with Qiao Xi's gaze.
After a long while, Qiao Xi came back to his senses, opened his mouth, and said, "That's the train?" ”
"Yes, sir."
"The nearest town here is in ...... Forget it, are there any youkai who are more familiar with the human world? ”
Qiao Xi originally wanted to ask if there was a gathering place for humans in the vicinity, but he went over for a walk, but halfway through speaking, he remembered that he was penniless now, and it was a little inappropriate to run to a human place like this, so he simply asked if there were any monsters that had been mixed with humans all year round.
Hearing this, the stone monster was a little embarrassed for a moment, and he frowned and thought for a while before replying apologetically: "I'm sorry, my lord, I've never left this stone, so I don't know much about it, but if you want to know the nearest town here, then I can tell about it." ”
As he spoke, he raised his hand and pointed in a direction, saying, "There's a hot spring there, and humans like to spend their holidays there, and I remember that there is a youkai living nearby, so why don't you go and ask him." ”
Seeing that Qiao Xi's face was a little moved, the stone monster quickly described the characteristics of the monster he said, and then watched Qiao Xi slowly swing down the mountain road.
It wasn't until Qiao Xi's figure disappeared into the forest sword that the stone monster suddenly remembered.
"Oops, I forgot to tell you that humans don't wear that kind of hunting clothes anymore."
